Born in Wilkes-Barre, he was the son of the late Edward Anthony and Helen Goobic Bogusko. He was an avid golfer, reader and sports enthusiast.

He enjoyed watching the Baltimore Orioles, Maryland Terrapins and soccer. He could often be heard "announcing" games and saying to his family, "See it's not a hard job!"

Dave graduated from Dulaney High School (1966) and Wilkes College, where he played soccer and lacrosse and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in psychology (1970), and Towson University with a masters degree in school psychology (1973).

He served in the Marine Corps Reserve from 1970 to 1976. He worked as a school psychologist in the Harford County Public School system for 32 years.

He will be remembered by his friends and family as an avid "foodie," excellent cook and loving grandfather.

He is survived by his wife, JoAnne; son, Peter; daughter, Sarah and husband, Matthew Yencha; grandchildren, Lukas, Audrey, Gideon and Emilia; sister, Lea and husband, John Packard, and their son, Matthew; and many cousins, including John Goobic III.
